Context

This coin is one of two struck by the RAM and issued by Australia Post from 3500 Post Offices Australia wide. To get the coin a cash purchase has to be made at an Australia Post Retail Shop and they are given in change where required. The coin complements the second ten coin series of NCLT "Aussie Big Things" issued in a special tube with a "Press in Album" for $34. There are 2 extra spaces in the folder for the two coins that were issued into circulation as change for cash purchases at Australia Post Offices as mentioned above. Australia is truly the home of the Big Thing. These gigantic animal, birds, fish, fruit and objects are located throughout our big brown land, from the Western Australian coast to tropical north Queensland and deep south in Tasmania. They all have particular significance for their local communities and are a major selfie-worthy attraction for passing tourists. This is an image of the Front & back of the press in Album folded out. Next to it is the inside showing the 10 coins (+2) inserted. This coin was also issued in Proof Finish in a 2 Coin Set.
